This is especially the case considering that the US now is bogged down in Afghanstan and may well have sustained many more casualties there than publicly admitted.

Perceived foreign policy "wisdom" is as cyclical as the markets. Back in the 1970s we had the "Vietnam Syndrome" when people were frightened of any war because of the prospect of heavy losses. Now we have swung full circle -- the perceived wisdom is that the US can fight and win any war at minimal cost. This is just as silly as the Vietnam Syndrome IMHO.
